At PJ's Plumbing & Heating, we understand just how important a working air conditioner is, especially during those hot Florida summers. When your AC starts acting up, it can make life uncomfortable and even lead to higher energy bills. Don’t worry, though! We’re here to help. Here are some telltale signs that your AC needs a little TLC from a professional.
1. Weak or No Airflow
Notice that the cool breeze from your vents is more like a whisper? Weak or no airflow can be a sign of trouble with your compressor or ductwork. If your AC isn’t pushing out the air like it used to, give us a call so we can get things flowing again.
2. Warm Air
Is your AC blowing warm air instead of a refreshing chill? This could be due to a refrigerant leak, a compressor issue, or a thermostat problem. Warm air is a definite sign that your AC needs some attention, and we’re here to fix it fast.
3. Frequent Cycling
Does your AC seem to be turning on and off more than usual? This frequent cycling, or short cycling, could be due to a clogged filter, refrigerant leaks, or an oversized unit. Constantly cycling puts extra strain on your system, so it’s best to have it checked out right away.
4. Strange Noises
Your AC should run quietly in the background. If you start hearing grinding, squealing, or banging noises, it’s a signal that something is off. These sounds might be from loose parts, a failing motor, or debris inside the unit. Ignoring them could lead to bigger problems, so let’s get it sorted out together.
5. Unpleasant Odors
Smelling something funky when your AC is running? Musty or foul odors can mean mold in the ductwork or issues with the wire insulation. These odors can affect your indoor air quality, so let’s tackle this issue to keep your home smelling fresh and clean.
6. High Humidity Levels
Feeling sticky inside your home even when the AC is on? Your AC should help control humidity levels. If it’s not, there might be a problem with its dehumidification process. High humidity can be uncomfortable and promote mold growth, so it’s important to get this checked out.
7. Water Leaks
Seeing puddles or leaks around your AC unit? While some condensation is normal, excessive water can point to a blocked drain tube or a refrigerant leak. Water leaks can cause significant damage, so it’s best to have a professional look at it right away.
